about future inventory changes:

i would REALLY appreciate some kind of shared hangar not working on corporation basis but for the players (read: my alts) i invite

Here's a few suggestions for other things to add:

Add counts indicating the number of different categories of items in a branch to the location tree, for example:
My Items > My Loot [59]
My Items > Stuff for Sale - Container [1433]

Add the ability to fit all items in a stack. Say for instance, you want to fit 3 nanofiber internal structure modules to your ship, and they are all in an "unassembled" stack. Under the current system, you would need to "Fit to Active ship" three separate times or unstack the items three separate times and then mass select them and fit them to ship all at once. Instead, you should simple be able to select the stack and say "Fit to Active Ship" once and all the items will automatically attempt to fill fitting slots until there's no more room or no more items in the stack.

Ensure search function looks in containers: When the quick filter or asset search is used, it would be nice for it to search sub-directories in the tree. There's nothing more annoying than buying a skill book only to discover months later you've already had it hidden away in a container for years because the asset search you did, didn't bother to check containers. Same applies to manufacturing materials and modules you want to fit.

Estimated isk price off refine values: It would be nice to have the option for either the inventory window or the refinery window look up average market prices for minerals/materials and give a readout estimating the refined value of selected items based off the value of the raw materials. Indeed, if instead of using average values it could estimate the nearest levels of support and resistance on the market to give an idea of the margins, that would be even better (if technical).

(This is a bit out of scope, but speaking of market analysis, the market graph is especially hard to use for many commodities, especially minerals, because the "min/max value" and the "donchian channel" options use overly extreme values on the most recent day of the graph and the fine distinction is compressed to a few pixels while those options are selected. For example, look at any graph of "tritanium" ever, then unselect those options and behold a much more reasonable scale for the y-axis. It would be nice if the graph was user-scalable or didn't pull ridiculous extreme values from the market for its data.)

I need to read previous comments before I post...apologies.

One thing I noticed when logging in for the first time yesterday. I forgot about that change. So I was at "uh, huh? Inventory broken? Where's the button? Ships missing, too? Is it in services tabs? no? what? Then I tried a double click and remembered the change seeing it popping up. Maybe there should be some hint window similar to the one the updated neocom had.

Edit:
Just had this random idea: Allow an optional button to show assets located in other stations (as mentioned above), but still allow drag and drop: If I drag a skill book from my Jita assets to the Rens assets, I'm told in a popup that I can't move assets between stations, but at the same time I'm asked to whether I'd like to create a courier contract for the transport.

nice changes CCP!

That is news to me. That would be awesome!

Awesome stuff. Much, much, better. The only minor complaint is I wish the open in new window feature could be done with a double click instead of the right click drop down selection.

I have 2 additional UI requests that would make life a LOT easier for us poor industry and corp security people:

1. Can you add a "unique" filter to the inventory filters? I copy LOTS of blueprints and ship them all over the place to various offices. For example, I have 10 thrasher, 10 drake, 10 hurricane, 10 abaddon, 10 xxx, repeat 100 times for 100 other BPCs. I then need to create a courier contract or drop 1 of each BPC into a container to ship them to an office. This currently is extremely painful. If I could use your filter item to show me just 1 of each item, I could just select all and be done with it.

2. Can we please please please be allowed to place assembled ships into station containers? It would be really, really, really, really nice to be able to have some security around corp owned ships and an audit trail around who takes which ship. Currently, we have to do this at the hangar granularity which isn't the greatest and offers no auditing at all. This shouldn't be that hard to change and would be a HUGE help. Even if you did it for just the player built station warehouse it would be great.

In space we need smal windows.

The added functionality to the inventory windows is great.
However in my opinion your fight against "open windows" is misguided. I believe you should be fighting the need to have many windows open with out hindering the ability to do so in way we have for years.

I need my windows to look similar to and behave like the ones in the below image. You can and should add functionality to that layout, but not remove any functionality already there.

I need to have my ships and items separated by tabs on the top my main inventory window any I need this window to close when undocked. I also need my cargo window for my active ship to always be open (docked or in space) and never have the container recycled for other inventory containers (they should open in their own window)

1 question 2 suggestions:

Question: Is the new inventory system intended to replace the asset tab within the corp management window and if so, will you be able to have the same functionality with this new system as you did with the old as a CEO or director? ( suggest lock-down, transfer items to member's hangers and ect.) Also, how will this affect the Security Officer role within a corp? will they still beable to see into members' hangers?

Suggestion1: Notice that you said that you will hid corp hangers dependent on the read and take rules granted by CEO/director. This is not good. Players still need to be able to drop items into corp hangers even if they do not have read or take access. If nothing else you need to have corp hangers populated on the tree!

Suggestion 2: How about extending the tagging system that you built for the EVE-Mail system to the inventory system. It would be nice to be able to tag individual items within my inventory with custom tags that i create and then use filters to show only items with said tags!
